Fire modelling is a common practice in building fire safety analysis, but it is costly. This work
develops an AI software, Intelligent Fire Engineering Tool (IFETool), to speed up the fire …

The recent rise of numerical fire modeling has revealed the performance of building fire
safety and code. However, high-fidelity fire simulation is costly and difficult to analyze. This …

Fire in large-volume buildings poses separate and distinct challenges from compartmented
spaces. In particular, the risk it poses on life safety is mostly due to the smoke it produces, its …

Since the 1970s, researchers have developed semi-empirical models to describe fire smoke
movement inside buildings, but there are three major issues. Firstly, several plume models …

Buildings with large internal spaces, such as vertical shafts or atria, are widespread
nowadays. In the case of fire, internal air currents may generate devastating fire whirls that …

Large occupied spaces such as the atria can have additional internal elements like
balconies, stairs, or decorations. Unfortunately, detailed design rules for smoke …

The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the validity of the existing methods for
analytically solving the governing equation of smoke filling in enclosures with floor leaks and …

In this paper, the natural filling law of smoke in ultra-thin and tall atrium was studied by
means of numerical simulations. The results show that, the axial plume velocity of the ultra …

Makeup air is important for fire smoke control systems, and the effects of makeup air on
atrium smoke conditions have long been a concern. Requirements for makeup air velocities …
